EVIDENCE BASE MEDICINE
Acute Headache In The ED: Evidence-Based Evaluation And Treatment Options
June 2001
Authors: Godwin S. & Villa J. Peer Reviewers: Lukens T. & Burke MC.
"The majority of patients who come to the ED with a headache do not have a life-threatening problem. The challenge is to identify the small but significant percent that do. The differential diagnosis of headache is huge—by the time some work-ups are complete, the emergency physician suffers greater agony than the patient.
This issue of Emergency Medicine Practice uses an evidence-based approach for evaluating acute non-traumatic headache in the ED. The article emphasizes life-threatening causes and discusses the management of both benign and malignant headaches."
